What 𭪋 means
A Tang stele gives an early date: 682.
A stele dated 682 provides the earliest surviving examples. Sawndip grew as Zhuang writers adapted Chinese character forms to their language, rather than following one inventor’s design. In 1175, Fan Chengda reported local writing in court papers and contracts in parts of Guangxi. Old Zhuang manuscripts also preserve religious works, songs and stories.

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
